Since the Spring Autumn and Warring States Period, acupuncture and moxibustion has expieerneced an evolution of three systems:system of traditional acupuncture and moxibustion, system of modern acupuncture and moxibustion, and system of post-modern acupuncture and moxibustion, with each system being closely related to multi-disciplinary research in its times. Modern acupuncture and moxibustion is the result of multi-disciplinary researches on the therapy of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology and neurobiology, while meridian study involves a wider range of disciplines. Post-modern acupuncture and moxibustion can be understood as systematic acupuncture and moxibustion, which through multi-disciplinary research introspects the deficiency of reductionism in modern science and applies systematic science to acupuncture and moxibustion science. New innovation of acupuncture and moxibustion resolutely needs multi-disciplinary research.
